Attending that liberal arts college in my home town in Illinois. As a person from "downstate" I was treated as a second class person, not admitted to the best social society, and denied an opportunity to stay a fifth year and complete my studies when I needed a teacher's certificate.
Then I was denied career services because folk gossiped that I was "mentally defective" and I became embarrassed to show up on campus for any reason.
I regret not having enough money to get adequate psychological or psychiatric services. If my condition of Asberger's, attention deficit, and alcoholism had been correctly diagnosed, maybe my life would have turned out much differently, and my talents of linguistics and geographical knowledge would not have been wasted when became homeless and underemployed.

I try to not to regret to many things. However, I ignored my best guy friend last year around this time of year because of something completley stupid. He didn't do anything, and I overreacted. I ruined our friendship because I wouldn't tell him what was the problem. He chased after me, and I pushed him away. He gave up...
We finally started talking again this year, and I told him how sorry I was. I think he forgave me, but our friendship will never be the same. That is my absolute biggest regret and the only thing I wish I could go back and call "second chance" on.

I'm only 20 so I haven't had that long to make huge regrets.
My biggest regret is wasting over 3 years on a guy who in the end slept with my friends and blamed me for not putting out. It's not that I was blamed for it, it's that I wasted pretty much all of my high school years on the jerk.

Not going to college. I'm 49 and laid off and .... it's been a hard life. Hope you learn something from this answer if you are young. We've lost everything -- not because we are "stupid" -- actually quite intelligent but no college degrees.

Not being able to learn from my mistakes for a long time. Mistakes are the only way we learn. Now I embrace my mistakes as opportunities to learn.

losing two screennames from people I met in florida on vacation. Ugh. They had the same interests and they were my age. I can't believe i did that. Sometimes when I see scratch paper, i still hope it contains their s/ns on it.
I'm only not even in High school so whatever.
